not trying to flood the q and a but need help with cwm odin... - Verizon Droid Charge

so i have just about all the files i need 1. ep1w stock debloated.tar.md5 i have this i assume i flash this via pda but i was told i need to flash a kernal with this??? is this true... cause i just want to flash gummycharged 2.0 2. i have a file called recovery_charge.odin.md5.tar is this the correct cwm i have been hearing people having issues with the newest version whitch i had previously and could not fix don't want it to happen again. 3.can i just flash my rom of choce via odin like gummycharged odin version or humble 5.0 ?? plus the most recent cwm won't let me download anyway...

Yea I'd d/l the imeyosen 4 kernel.it is very fast and stable. Also has smartass and interactive x governors, which u have to enable in terminal emulator tho

i am not currently rooted but what do i do?? i flash the stock rom reboot and then flash a kernal via odin?? what about cwm?

ok looks like i already have this on my desktop but there is no way to flash this i do not have cwm yet that is my biggest hurdle i just want gummy charged... and people were having issues with the lastest cmw..

Well I can tell ya what I used when i got my charge. The thread in development I think is called root,kernel, cwm. That got me rooted with voodoo.then I just worked my way up from there. Upgraded my radio to ep3 made a huge difference for signal strength.then to ep4. Then I odin'd humble 4 which came with cwm. I then flashed emoysen 4 in cwm. Then flashed humble 5. I haven't had any problems with the cwm version he included.
But all that jumping around aside. I think you can Odin the radio straight to ep4 and Odin to humble 4 and after that do whatever you want in cwm.

so technically i can just flash the humble 5.0 odin file without being rooted and it will give me root and cwm haven't rooted yet or any rom for that matter i was just wanting to flash one rom and i am good to go such as gummy charge 2.0 odin or humble i don't plan on flashing a whole lot..

Well I can't remember if humble 5 has a kernel. I know it didn't when i d/l it. Unless the post has been updated. That's why i said go humble 4 first .it includes imoysen 3 .1 kernel I believe
And I'll say in my personal experience humble 5 is the most stable with best battery I've ran yet. And I've flashed every single rom there is for the charge. But it varies from phone to phone

so with no root i can just flash humble 4.0 and i am rooted with kernal and i am done??

I may need someone else to chime in cuz i didn't do it this way. But i think Odin with a rooted rom and kernel does it. I'm about 90 percent sure of that . Somebody? Anybody?
Also its worth it to upgrade ur radio to at ep4.
Just remember use the PDA button only in Odin

would like some assurance of a better possibility i guess technically i flash the stock ep1w debloated rom boot up, power off back to odin flash that cwm version you mentioned earlier in the thread do a backup in cwm and then flash via cwm.... correct.. don't mean to make things complicated..

That's it exactly. Also I'd recommend reading the how to at the top of development section called how to fix your phone. And download those files just in case you ever get stuck. It saved me once.
Edit ...actually you could Odin straight to humble 4

Just for the read, figured I'd show you how i rooted mine. Read the OP ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092114

ok i flashed the stock edw1 i think its called super user installed now i want to install gummy but don't have cwm how do i go about flashing gummy 2.0

Should be able to Odin one of these. latest is 8/17 .make sure u Odin a gb radio too. They have better reception and less data drops. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
I'd recommend humble. Its been alot more stable than gummy was for me. Tho gummy has a few more settings u can tweak thru tsm parts. Sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze
---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------
I suggest go ahead and flash this radio. Don't touch it while its flashing and put battery back in after its in download mode before you hit start on Odin as extra precaution. Hiccups during radio flashes are bout the only way to actually brick a phone ....or so I've read. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339214

Thanks guys flashed humble 4.0 working so much better than stock... Can't flash 5.0 requires a kernal rather not install cwm for previous precautions just wish I could find the newest gummy charged Odin for 2.0 or 2.1

Humble came with cwm on it didn't it. D/l quickboot. It a free app, make it easy to boot into recovery. Just wipe cache and dalvic and flash imoseyon 4 then put humble 5 on it. Better to do it now before you get everything see up the way u want it
I don't think gummy 2 comes in Odin format
Don't just say thanks, hit thanks. Its appreciated

I keep forgetting the app has a thanks button now

I guess installing rom manager free would do it. Open it up, grant su
Then on top line it tells latest cwm version available and current installed version

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Darkys Rom problem

Hi all,
I was attempting to install Darkys Extreme Edition on my brother SGS (running Froyo 2.2.1) last night and had a number of issues, i am an experienced techy and familiar with flashing etc but i am still new to Android.
I managed to flash the Speedrom kernel onto his phone using Odin, i rooted with "super one click root tool" and installed Clockwork Rom Manager from the marketplace,i then dropped the "Darkys rom Extreme Edition v9.1.zip" onto the root of the SD card and entered recovery using the button combo and received the "could not verify whole-file signature" installation aborted, the file had not been opened as i read this will break the signature but instead i downloaded the rom again from a different source and had the same problem.
I then attempted the same process by asking CWM to install the rom on the SD card, same problem and then attempted it again by entering recovery through CWM and again the same thing happened. I did some searching online and managed to find out that he needs recovery 2e (he currently has recovery 3e)
So i figured it would be simple enough - download and flash eclair 2.1 through the phone, however when i checked his "about phone" i find i9000JPW and cant for the life of me find ANY reference or firmware online for "JPW"
So with that i have the following questions - can the experienced users here spot something i am doing wrong?
and
would i be able to achieve the recovery process by flashing ANY stock, Eclair 2.1 ROM through the phone (like JPY for instance) and then be able to install Darkys Rom?
I am grateful to anyone that could shed some light on this for me, i am not currently with the phone but if i can get some solid info i can go over tomorrow and have another crack at it, ive Googled this a lot and cannot find a solid enough answer as to whether the above suggestion will help or hinder in this case.
Cheers to all
Not sure if this helps as i am not much of a wiz but i think darky rom needs the darky app from the market to tell which modem and kernel to install.
Not sure if that's actually the problem but worth a try.
Stock recovery changed from 2e to 3e from eclair to froyo which is why cwm is having problems. I had the same problem with a vibrant that had been updated to 2.2. I flashed a TW Bionix ROM and soft bricked the phone. Find the right pit and tar files and Odin back to 2.1 and you should be fine. Check out Shorty's locker on Team Whiskey. He has lots of stuff in storage.

Thanks guys ill be sure to give this a go, gongshow how will i know which tar and PIT files to use? is there a repository somewhere where i can get them for JPW? or can i use any eclair 2.1 rom (and the tar/pit files) and flash that using Odin?
Download hardcores latest speedmod kernel and flash via Odin. That's all you need to get recovery 2e. Then install your favorite rom and enjoy.

Ah, this sounds like what i was looking for, thank you! i'll download that ROM and if i can get over there tonight ill attempt it tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow, ill go look up a tutorial for flashing roms in Odin too, since i have so far only flashed a kernel with it, thanks for all the help guys i really appreciate it, especially since i'm hoping to get an Android phone myself soon and i wont be able to leave it alone til its all custom!
Ok, all done! last night i flashed Darkys Resurrection 9.2 using Odin on my brothers SGS, downloaded Darkys configurator from the market and made any necessary changes and installed the speedmod kernel k13c total time taken from start to finish: 30mins
everything is running smoothly and exactly as he wanted it, a huge thanks to all who contributed help to this post in particluar:
ehtoeh - for putting me onto the K13c speedmod kernel and
aerobomb - for putting me onto the idea of flashing the Resurrection rom to lower recovery to 2e and then flashing Darkys 2.3 final.
You guys are awesome and i could not of done this without you, when i eventually make the move to Android ill be back and hopefully ill be able to help you guys out!
No worries bud. Hope your brother enjoys his phone. What quadrant scores did you get with darkys 9.3? I hit 1499.
Btw, you could have done it all in under 10 minutes. Speedmod k13c has CWM built in and gives you 2e recovery. Then just flash 9.3 directly. No need to go from 9.2 to 9.3 unless you really like flashing

I ran that way for a while before flashing the GummyCharged ROM.
First you need to flash a custom recovery. I used Clockwork.
Next you have to flash a new Kernel. I used PeanutButta Jelly Time.
Neither mod touches your ROM at all. You'll be completely stock but with a new Voodoo enabled kernel.

I don't know for sure but I would say that you'll lose Clockwork Recovery. You may have to go through the rooting steps again. Let us know how it goes.

sounds like it's connecting fine.. and you described it right, flash the stock rom in Odin first and boot up to make sure it works or do some minor set-up, then flash the latest 8/17 CWM in Odin and immediately boot into it after, make the backup then flash whatever rom/kernel you want (Gummy 2.0 has one included and will enable voodoo lagfix on first boot)
not that hard once you do it once or twice and kinda learn how it all works and whatnot

and no the stock rom does not include a custom voodoo kernel but the Gummy 2.0 package does so it will install the kernel and rom and enable voodoo lagfix on first boot (the Gummy rom package includes version 2.2.5 of that kernel I linked so it's a bit old, you can update it if you want by flashing the new one in CWM afterwards)

no no no stock rom in PDA first, boot up after the flash, power down and connect to Odin again and put CWM in PDA (everything goes in PDA) and flash then unplug phone after it passes and immediately boot into CWM no regular boot up.. then wipe data, dalvik (under advanced) and cache then flash Gummy or rom of your choice (custom rom build must match stock build like stock EP1W with EP1W Gummy 2.0), select reboot phone option and let the kernel activate voodoo lagfix when it boots up (may take a while)... once it starts you'll have a rooted voodoo custom rom, then you can hold the power button down until the reboot options menu comes up and select recovery to proceed to flash the updated kernel if you want
also the modems will be the ones installed with the stock rom, but you can flash new ones in Odin in the PDA section if you want

Having serious problems installing a ROM

I have a samsung infuse on at&t. I want to install CM7. Here's what has happened so far:
- I copied the modified 3e recovery file into /system/bin
- I flashed CWM and rebooted.
- I got a bricked phone.
- I used GTG's unbricker to unbrick, eventually getting it to work.
- I ended up with a different android installation than I had previously. The market is weird, it's locked so I can't install APKs... I rooted and installed rom manager using adb but rom manager force closes immediately.
All I want to do is just install the CM7. I don't care if I keep my data, I don't care if I can recover to my old rom (that's already out the window.) I just want to get rid of this touchwiz garbage and get gingerbread.

What i did before to get it working is...
Unbrick with gtx unbrick / or unbrick to stock with root+ mod e3 recovery with Odin, phone restart into red recovery, flash cm7, reboot into recovery (it should be blue this time), reflash cm7, then Reboot system.
That works out for me in the past. Good luck and always do a nandroid backup.

But I don't understand how to do the first part. Can you give me more specific instructions? I'm looking through the big thread with all the roms, but I don't understand how I can install these roms with Odin. Can I directly install cm7 with Odin?

check out the first link in my signature line. it should help. gl
I flashed the one you linked with odin, and it booted into a blue recovery. Should it have been red?]
EDIT: and rom manager FCs instantly.
Update: I selected "reinstall packages" and CWM popped up!!! I'm doing a factory reset.
And I tried to install the compiled CM7 rom through rom manager, it booted into CWM and CWM did stuff, and then it rebooted to a samsung logo!
This is so much fun! Any thoughts on what I should try?
I assume I need to do the voodoo lagfix stuff?
I am following these instructions:

But the multiupload links are broken. How do I get CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip?

I got it. I'm running CM7.
To install google apps, do I just get the google apps zip from below and then boot into CWM and install it?

Play with cm7 for a while then come back to a real infuse based ROM like Zeus or Numas.

Do what this man says.. I especially like that part about Zeus. AOSP roms.. ehh.. not so much... Infuse native Roms and good ports??? So much.
